#2 May not retire - Hashim Amla
Hashim Amla has become of the best batsman to represent the country. With AB de Villiers announcing retirement from International Cricket, it is up to Hashim, Quinton de Kock, and Faf Du Plessis to take the mantle and lead South Africa in the World Cup.
March of 2019 will see Hashim Amla turning 36, which is usually the age that any cricketer decides to hang his boots. But this might not be the case with Hashim Amla as there are two good reasons which prevent him from retiring.
The reason number one is that the lack of replacement in the batting department after his retirement, and reason number two is the arrival of ICC World Test Championship in the later part of 2019. While Amla's numbers in the limited overs are good, he is best known for his exploits in the longest format of the game.
